Pop music in Portugal has grown in recent decades due to increased exposure to international artists and styles through globalization and urbanization. New pop bands, influenced by international boy bands and girl groups, have formed but often have short lifespans as they try to mimic modern international music production and recreate popular styles, drawing some inspiration from Portuguese and African rhythms and sounds as exemplified by Sara Tavares.
